Plastik Life

Good reading.

The research behind this is wild. A baby owl can sit and starve to death right next to a pile of food. Put a stuffed owl next to it, like in the video, and suddenly it'll eat. An Austrian zoologist, Konrad Lorenz, won the 1973 Nobel Prize for figuring out why. He showed that young birds aren't born knowing who their mom is. In the first few days of life, their brain takes a kind of mental photograph. Whatever they see moving around gets locked in as "parent." After that, only that figure can switch on their feeding instinct. He called it imprinting. Owls have it worse than most birds. They're born blind, naked, and totally helpless. A baby barn owl needs feeding every two to three hours for weeks. It can't even keep itself warm until its feathers come in. And right around the time its eyes finally open, between days 15 and 20, its brain locks onto whoever's been taking care of it. Miss that window with the wrong face nearby, and the owl is wired wrong for life. Even the begging is automatic. In the 1950s, a Dutch scientist named Niko Tinbergen ran experiments with baby seagulls. He found the chicks were pecking at a specific shape. A long thin thing with a colored spot was enough to trigger the full begging routine, even when it was just a painted wooden stick. Take the stick away and the whole sequence shuts down. The chick can be staring straight at food, but if there's no parent-shaped trigger, its body doesn't know how to swallow. There's a tiny patch in the bird brain that runs this whole show. It's the same part that learns and stores faces. Researchers at Cambridge and labs in Japan have mapped it down to the chemistry. They've even found a hormone that, if you inject it in the right spot, can re-open the imprinting window after it closes. That dummy owl in the video carries 40 years of conservation work behind it. In 1982 there were only 22 California condors left in the entire world. The San Diego Zoo started feeding hatchlings with hand puppets shaped like adult condors, hiding the human handler behind a curtain. The condor population is now 607. The Bronx Zoo did the same thing last spring with a baby king vulture. The Barn Owl Trust in the UK feeds orphaned owls through owl puppets while wearing camouflage hoods, because an owl raised by humans can never be released back into the wild. It'll fly toward people, beg from them, and starve. The dummy is the only signal the chick's brain still accepts as "mom." Evolution carved a very specific lock into its brain, and only the right shape fits.

They asked their men to leave the room while they change😂😂

do you understand what happened to PlayStation yesterday.. They quietly turned your game purchases into a 30-day subscription. No announcement.. No warning.. You didn't rent it.. You BOUGHT it. → Every new PSN purchase now has a 30-day validation timer → Timer hits zero = game locked → CMOS battery dies = game locked → No internet for a month = game locked → Even FREE demos have the timer now Game bought March 2nd? No timer. Works forever.. Game bought April 24th? Expires May 24th.. They didn't patch a bug. They shipped this on purpose. Digital ownership just died. They didn't even tell you.

@naufaltaufiq15 @strootsys Masalahnya dia ini ambisius 😂 pebola sejati, jadi kalo berjuang ga keliatan ada hasilnya pasti akan terus gereget.

@strootsys Respek...tapi jujur kalo gw di posisi Bruno dan istrinya ya gw pilih stay di emyu...gila kalo exposurenya gede apalagi posisinya lu lagi dicintai semua warga emyu...ini jelas melebihi uang...justru prestasi hanyalah bonus

Coba bayangin lo adalah Bruno Fernandes di summer 2025. Umur masih 31, udah perform konsisten bagus, nge-carry klub, tapi prestasi seret banget. Abis itu dateng klub Saudi ngasih tawaran uang yg ga masuk akal, bahkan rumornya segila £1juta per pekan, alias nyaris Rp100 miliar sebulan. Bruno bisa banget nerima tawaran itu, dan wajar banget kalo mau pindah. Ibarat karyawan yg bagus tapi gak didukung environment kantor yg oke. Tapi, Bruno malah stay di United. Istrinya, Ana Pinho, juga ngedukung keputusan dia. To try his best at United and see where this all lead him. When we talk about loyalty there is level to this game. Bruno loves his wife & United from his heart. Bener-bener couple yg dari day one bareng, dan Ana lah yg nemenin karier Bruno dari nol, sampe-sampe pemikiran & shared goals mereka pun sama. What a love story. Ini sih, bukan cuma Bruno yg layak dapet status legend United. Istrinya juga gak kalah magnifico support suaminya 🪄

@strootsys “Apa kamu yakin kamu sudah mencapai semua yang kamu ingin capai (bersama United)?” Merinding..

@Drew_Scarlet98 Communication is the key, wtf was everyone trying to avoid it, what goal are they trying to achieve?

@anishmoonka @RetroKamen Fuck Jim Ryan.

Sony spent up to $400 million making a single video game. It sold 25,000 copies in 14 days before Sony pulled it from sale. Cost per copy sold: about $16,000. The studio shut down two months later. The executive who warned them had already been fired for saying no. The game was Concord. The executive was Shuhei Yoshida, who ran Sony's in-house game studios for 11 years and helped ship some of the biggest PlayStation hits ever: God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima. These are games you buy once and finish. Sony made billions on that model. Spider-Man alone generated $315 million in digital sales. The Last of Us 2 pulled nearly $250 million. God of War Ragnarok sold 15 million copies, with $279 million from digital downloads alone. Then in 2019, a new CEO took over PlayStation. Jim Ryan wanted Sony's studios to stop making those kinds of games and chase a different model: live service. Live service is Fortnite's model: games designed to keep you playing and paying forever, earning money through endless small purchases instead of one-time sales. Ryan told his team to ship 12 of these by 2025. Yoshida refused. Ryan removed him from running the studios and gave him a choice: take a smaller role working with indie developers or leave the company. Yoshida took the role and stayed at Sony for another six years. At an industry event in Australia last weekend, he finally said plainly that Ryan fired him from running the studios for refusing to do the 'ridiculous things' Ryan had demanded. Of those 12 live service games, 8 were cancelled before they ever came out. Naughty Dog killed a Last of Us multiplayer game in late 2023. Bend Studio's sci-fi game died in January 2025. Twisted Metal and a London fantasy game were both scrapped in early 2024, and the London studio was closed. Insomniac's Spider-Man multiplayer was abandoned. A God of War live service game was cancelled, then the studio making it (Bluepoint) was shut down this past February. A Destiny spin-off was scrapped. Deviation Games, a studio Sony had partnered with, was shut down before shipping anything. Only one of the 12 actually worked. Helldivers 2 was a big hit. But the studio that made it, Arrowhead, isn't owned by Sony, and they've already said they won't partner with Sony on their next game. The total damage under Ryan: $3.7 billion spent buying Bungie (the studio behind Destiny), up to $400 million written off on Concord, and roughly 1,500 jobs lost across studios that got shut down. The PS5 generation is now short on the kind of games that built PlayStation in the first place. Yoshida was pushed out in 2019 for saying no to one strategy. Five years and a few billion dollars later, Sony's current CEO says the new plan is to 'fail early and fail cheaply.'

She did it all by herself—then cheered for herself 🥹👏

@brositah4 Cursed material, was born from greed, nothing ever came out good from greed.

Finally caught up with Boruto and gosh the tears in my eyes. The plot, the characters, the art, the lore, the emotional moments, the dialogue, the writing… everything was garbage from beginning to end. On my way to the hospital, definitely the worst manga I’ve ever read

@brositah4 😂😂😂😂

Inilah tampang Andi Hakim Febriansyah & Camelia Rosa. Suami istri pencuri Rp28 miliar dana suci umat Gereja Katolik Paroki Santo Fransiskus Assisi Aek Nabara, Labuhanbatu, Sumut untuk umroh, bikin cafe mewah, sport center, mini zoo & gaya hidup glamour.

This original medieval-style dance piece is in G minor, with a chord progression that alternates between Gm and Cm, incorporating variations like Gm6 and Cm6 for that hypnotic flow.
